The Ferry Ch 1

All events and characters in this story are fiction, but as in all my
stories, they are inspired by real people and events. Michael Stevens

When his iPhone buzzed, Mike clicked ?send? on his message to Jake and
shifted to the phone to answer it. He knew it was his mom from the i.d. and
wondered what she wanted. ?Hi mom? He would be seeing her later in the day,
and for the whole weekend on the island, so he wasn?t sure why she needed
to talk now.

?Hi Honey. I need a favor, or actually, John needs a favor.? John was her
husband but not his father, and that term, even step-father was never used
when talking about him. ?On your way to the ferry, could you swing by and
pick up Danny at school? I have to go into the city to get John and I?m
running out of time.?

?Ok mom.? He?d already switched back to messages, and Jake had posted a
photo that made his dick twitch. He was hardly listening to her now. He was
planning his reply.

?He promised he?s be on the steps at 2 o?clock and?? She stopped when she
realized that he?d already said he would do it. ?OK then that?s really
great. I?ll see you on the boat at 3. Just board when you get there. We?ll
just make it in time. Danny?s expecting you.?

When Danny?s dad married Mike?s mother Danny was 9 and Mike was 15. He was
an ok kid, but he was a kid, and Mike was surging into adolescence. They
spent summers on the island, not exactly together, but they eventually
became friends. Danny was 14 now, and on his way to becoming a very hot
young man. For a long time, in his private moments, Mike spent his horny
thoughts beating off, and one day came to the realization that when he
looked at porn, it was the guy he was looking at. He occasionally thought
about Danny. Now there was Jake.

Mike and Jake were both on the swim team and one afternoon Mike had been
admiring the way Jake filled up his speedo. Jake had a habit of tugging at
it that made it hang a little low in the front and show a little of the
?treasure trail? that he was so proud of. Mike had stared too long, and
Jake caught it. He also caught the boner that was pushing out Mike?s speedo
just before he slipped into the water. Both boys took a few extra laps at
the end of practice so that the locker room would clear out little, then
they took their time soaping up in the shower room. When they were finally
alone, Jake took the initiative. ?You probably think I?m gonna tease you
and then yell ?Faggot? when you take the bait. Well Mikey, I?m gonna show
you that I won?t do that.? He turned the boy to face the stream of
water. When the soap was rinsed away, he took Mike?s growing boner into his
mouth and gave it a good long tongue massage. Jake stood up and the boys
were face to face. Mike was speechless; the touch of Jake?s lips around his
penis was beyond his wildest dreams.
	?I?I?? he stammered. Jake put a finger to his lips.
	?No talking? he said quietly. And he kissed the other boy. Since
that afternoon they had eagerly explored each other?s bodies with fingers
and lips and tongues. When they weren?t touching, they were texting.

His phone clicked with another message from Jake ?Well?? he was asking, and
clearly expecting something in reply. Mike had just come in from soccer
practice, so he slipped off his damp jersey and tugged down his shorts to
reveal bulging jockstrap. He clicked a closeup of his midsection, added
?How?s this?? and hit send. Jake replied with a full-body mirror shot and
Mike sent off another jockstrap shot with his hard-on peeking over the
waistband. He was just about to start stroking the he realized that he had
used up his shower time, and would have to get going right then if he was
going to make the ferry. He slipped his shorts the rest of the way off and
grabbed his jeans. He could shower later. Luckily he had already put some
stuff into his backpack, so he was out the door fast enough that he could
get Danny and make the boat in time.

As promised, Danny was standing on the front steps of Founder?s Hall when
Mike pulled around the circular drive. He chucked his backpack in the back
and hopped in the front. ?Hey kid? said Mike. ?Hey? said Danny, and they
fist-bumped with their own code of greeting. ?Thanks for picking me
up. Your mom was all in a tizzy about getting my dad and getting to the
boat.? Neither of the boys had ever taken to calling the new parent Mom or
Dad. Usually they used first names, and together they were just the
grownups.

The ride was quiet and it wasn't until they were settled on the ferry that
they started to catch up on things. Danny went on and on about how coach
was helping him work out. In fact, when they had gotten jostled together in
the ticket line, Mike had already noticed that Danny seemed a little more
solid than he was in the summer. The boy is growing up, he
thought. Although he had never made a move on Danny, he did like watching
him, and since they shared a room and a bathroom, there was plenty of time
for that.

When the departure horn blew and the engine surged, both boys realized that
their parents were going to miss the boat. It wasn?t a disaster because
there was one more boat that evening, but the boys knew it would give them
something to razz the grownups on all weekend. They smiled as they waited
for the text message that would give them the news. they laughed when it
came; it was just a sad emoticon.

When they cleared the breakwater the ferry surged into the rolling waves;
the wind had picked up and it would be a rough crossing. By the time they
were pulling into the dock, it had started to rain, and the boys were not
looking forward to the mile walk to the cottage. They arrived soaked to the
skin and while the walking had helped keep them warm, once inside the
cottage the shivering set in. ?Fire? said Mike, and they set about getting
a blaze going in the big stone fireplace.

As the flames grew, they both stood as close to it as they could without
getting scorched. Mike stripped off his wet shirt and when the heat on his
bare skin felt so good, he started to peel off his soggy jeans too. About
half way down his thighs, Mike realized that Danny was staring at him. He
looked down and remembered that he was still wearing his jock
strap. ?What?? he said, I had to get dressed fast after practice!? Now
standing nearly naked in front of the fire, he preened and stretched with
pleasure. ?Get those damp clothes off Danny. You?ll warm up quicker.

Danny paused for a moment, but he had been naked around Mike before. In
fact, Danny had secretly watched his step brother undress, and more than
once caught him beating off after they?d gone to bed. Those moments had
fueled Danny?s fun under the sheets too. And, he thought, maybe Mike will
notice that I have been working out. So he did a slow strip. He unbuttoned
carefully and eased the long sleeves down his arms. He stopped and warmed
his hands in front of the fire. The flickering light cast shadows of his
nipples and abs across his white tee shirt until peeled it up and over his
head.

His smooth skin glowed in the firelight as he basked in the heat. ?You were
right? he said to Mike, ?this is much better. He sat on the edge of the
raised hearth to untie his sneakers and tossed them on the floor. He stood
up to push his damp jeans down his thighs but didn?t notice that he had
slid his jockeys down too. When he sat down to pull the jeans he was
startled when his cheeks hit the cold stone and as soon as he had yanked
the jeans off, he stood up and pulled the jockeys up to cover his ass.

Mike watched Danny?s strip tease with growing interest. Danny began to
preen in the heat of the fire. His jockeys were scrunched small and then he
practiced some of the flexing exercised that Coach was teaching him. After
a few moves, Mike interrupted. ?Danno! Where has this body come from? Holy
crap! you are going to be a hunk!? With his reverie interrupted, Danny
quickly assumed an aw-shucks shrug.

?Yeah, Coach has me working out a lot. Danny looked down at his body
demurely, and realized that he was poking out a serious boner. He quickly
looked up at Mike to see if he had been caught and covered himself
quickly. As his eyes scanned up Mike?s body to look he noticed that Mike
was pushing out a significant bulge himself.

Danny had turned away from Mike to hide his boner and now it was Mike?s
turn to move. He stepped a little closer to the handsome boy standing in
the firelight and rested his hands lightly on the boy?s shoulders. He
inched closer until he was standing right behind him. His fingers slid down
Danny?s shoulders and stopped when he reached his wrist. He laced his
fingers between the boy?s. ?Danny? he said quietly, ?I think we?ve got
something going on here.? They stood like that for several heartbeats, then
Mike?s fingers started sliding around the top edge of Danny?s jockeys. His
fingertips touched just below the boy?s bellybutton and fingered around it.

Danny could feel the texture of Mike?s jockstrap pushing between his
cheeks, arms around his torso and the warmth of his chest against his
back. He took a sharp breath and pushed away so he could turn around and
face Danny. He fully expected to plant a kiss full on his step brother?s
lips, but something unexpected happened. As he turned their boners banged
against each other. Both boys pulled away like they?d been goosed in the
locker room, and then they laughed; the tension was broken! They looked
each other up and down and and then each came forward and into each other?s
arms. Now it was time for that kiss.

Their lips met and it was a slow voyage of discovery. At first it was just
lips to lips as they hugged. There were more tentative kisses and an
exploration around to the side, where Nick nibbled and licked at Danny?s
earlobe. Danny squirmed and Nick realized the power of his tongue. He
returned to Danny?s mouth which was open with a moan of pleasure. He licked
the boy?s lips and then met them his own lips, sliding his tongue shyly
in. Danny felt the probe, and responded. Each tongue gently pushed at the
boundaries until the combatants gave in and opened to the other. Probing
tongues dueled and then fell back, only to attack again. Finally they
pulled away and began to explore other areas.

When they were distracted by a rising phone, they pulled apart as if they
had been caught in the act. When it rang again, they realized it was just
the phone, and rushed to answer it. ?Hi Mom? gasped Mike, he was still
breathing hard. ?What?s up?? Mike listened intently and said ?It?s ok, Mom,
we?ll be fine. See you tomorrow.? Danny?s eyes widened
	?They?re not coming??
	?Nope. Night boat got cancelled. Heavy waves and rain.? Both boys
were silent as they let this news sink in. ?They hope we?ll be ok.? More
quiet as the reality of being alone all night sank in.
	?We?ll be much better than ok.? Smiled Danny, and he snaked his
arms around Mike?s waist hooking his finger into the back of the jockstrap
and giving it a little snap. ?Where were we?? he asked coyly.
